Folklore performance + Bath entry

Enjoy a true Hungarian experience, with our thermal bath entry + Folklore show package. This way you can explore one of the world-famous thermal spring spas of Budapest, then get a taste of the Hungarian cultural heritage in the evening with our spectacular Folklore performance.

No visit to Budapest is complete without a bath in one of its world-famous thermal spring spas. The ancient Romans had already discovered the healing effects of the thermal springs in the area, that we call Budapest today. The city’s bath culture however, only started to develop during the Turkish times. We offer tickets for two of the city’s most prestigious and historical thermal spas, the Szechenyi and the Gellert bath.

The Szechenyi Bath is the largest thermal spring bath of Budapest, with its numerous indoor and outdoor pools, built in 1913 in Neo-Baroque style. Its thermal spring is one of the deepest and warmest in the city. It is located in the City Park, opposite the City Circus and it can be reached by the metro line M1 (the name of the stop is Szechenyi fürdõ).

Since its construction in 1918, Gellert Bath is the most beautiful and prestigious thermal bath on the Buda side of the city. Gellert is famous for its main hall with a gallery and a glass roof, built in Art-Nouveau style. It also has a sparkling bath and a special open-air wave pool. The bath is decorated with Art-Nouveau furnishing, artistic mosaics, and numerous exquisite sculptures making it one of the most beautiful thermal baths in the whole country.

After a nice, relaxing time at one of the most famous spas in the city, enjoy a performance like no other in the exquisite setting of the Neo-Baroque style Danube Palace, or the Secession style Budai Vigadó.

The cultural traditions of Hungary are unique in the world. There are only a handful of countries in the world, where folk music and dancing are being practiced at such a high artistic level. In Hungary, these art forms are treated as an indispensable part of the country’s heritage. It’s easy to see that our culture’s foundations are based on music and movement, which are not only part of our country’s culture; they are part of our lives as well. One of the best ways of getting acquainted with the Hungarian experience is attending a traditional folk dance performance. With our company, you can receive this experience first hand, from the best and most famous performers in the country. The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the Danube Folk Ensemble and the Hungaria Folk Ensemble & Orchestra are the country’s most respected dance ensembles, with the longest traditions, dating back more than six decades. The groups consist of 30 dancers, and about 20 folk musicians based on the performing group. With these performances you will experience the most famous, and the lesser known Hungarian and Gypsy dances from all areas of the country.

Every performance starts at 20:00 and consist of two 45 minute long parts with a 10 minute intermission in between.

In case you order our Folklore Performance together with entry tickets to the Szechenyi or Gellert Baths, you’ll get 10% discount from the folklore show.
